White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf<\/a><\/em><\/strong>
\nAaron Bobrow-Strain<\/a>
\nBeacon Press, Boston. 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those interested in food history and culture,\u00a0White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf,<\/em>\u00a0which mainly deals with US bread culture, also\u00a0<\/em>covers the rise of\u00a0shokupan\u00a0<\/em>(\u98df\u30d1\u30f3) in Japan, specifically\u00a0how SCAP tried to use bread and other \u201cdemocratic\u201d pastimes (kissing in films, for example) to \u201cbreak\u201d Japan of its \u201cimperialist notions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Bobrow-Strain isn’t a Japan specialist, his careful treatment of Japanese food culture and its globalization is a welcome change from mainstream media’s obsession with wacky Japan and even NPR’s weirdly one-sided articles.<\/p>\n
